4.0 out of 5 stars Great Progressive, March 16, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Gong Est Mort (Audio CD)

This is the finest album I have heard from the strange & wonderful Gong band. This version of "a sprinkling of clouds" is one of my favorite songs of all time. The guitar work by Hillage is incredible! This album is a must for true progressive fans. I am glad to see it finally come out on CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gong - 'Est Mort' (Celluloid/dist. by Voiceprint), September 30, 2004

This review is from: Gong Est Mort (Audio CD)

Top notch seventy-minute recording from a gig that took place at the Hippodrome in Paris on May 28,1977 during a one-off reunion performance.Features the classic Gong line-up of Allen,Smyth,Blake,Hillage,Howlett,Malherbe and Pyle.Includes many of the old Gong favorites,like "I've Been Stoned Before","Radio Gnome",the exceptionally done "Zero The Hero&The Witch's Spell","Flute Salad,"Master Builder" and the celestial "Sprinkling Of The Clouds".This CD will be giving some Gong fans a wet dream.These ten tracks are arguably the BEST live versions of these songs I've ever heard.That's probably because guitarist Steve Hillage and synthesiser wiz Tim Blake are giving 110%.Highly recommended.

I had this album on vinyl and traded it in for the first edition CD.
I love this album, but have always been disappointed that the songs had been faded out prematurely.
In order to fit the 2 albums on to a single CD, they had to fade out even more, bummer.
My hope is that, someday the entire performance will be released. This is the best live Gong performance I have ever heard.
Please, oh powers that be, release the whole show on multiple discs.
Come on Daevid, I know you can convince "them".
Until then, new and old Gong fans will love this CD, I just know it could be better.
